I recently stayed at this VRBO in Paris and, while the location was excellent, the overall experience was disappointing. The flat is advertised for four people, but it is far too cramped to comfortably accommodate that number. The living area is extremely tight, with both a coffee table and a small dining table taking up most of the space. Once the pull-out couch is in use (not the least comfortable) there’s barely any room to move around. Additionally, the closet has been converted into a kitchen, which leaves no proper space to store luggage.
This space is much better suited for a couple rather than four people, especially if those individuals are not willing to share a bed. The bathroom is also very small, with limited space to move, and the shower door was consistently difficult to open and close as it kept getting stuck.
The building itself added to the discomfort. The hallway was dirty and smelled strongly of cigarettes. The listing also mentioned a first-floor location, but we were later informed it was actually the second floor (Paris first floor), with no elevator. The staircase is narrow, winding, and made of old wood, and the entrance door is unusually small—something to keep in mind if you have luggage.
On a positive note, the location is great—very close to a main shopping street and easy to access Ubers. The host was also very responsive prior to arrival and kindly allowed us an early check-in, which was appreciated.
Very uncomfortable wouldn’t recommend.
